Brief summary
Diabetes Inspired Culinary Education (DICE) is an innovative family- and community-based culinary medicine intervention designed to mitigate racial/ethnic and socioeconomic status disparities in the treatment and health outcomes of at-risk youth with type 1 diabetes.
Interventions
BEHAVIORALDiabetes Inspired Culinary Education (DICE) - Phase 1
The DICE intervention is a 10-lesson family-and community-based culinary nutrition and diabetes education program. Intervention Mapping, a protocol for developing theory- and evidence-based health promotion programs, was utilized to develop the DICE intervention. Rooted in the Social Cognitive Theory, the DICE intervention targets key personal, behavioral, and environmental constructs as mechanistic pathways for eliciting change in the consequential health outcomes of poor glycemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes.
